setcpu?

Anybody using setcpu? I cant seem to get it working fc on me
Sent from my Dell Streak 7

I doubt that it supports the Tegra2 processor.
This thing is a speed demon as it is.

ya it is pretty quick wanted it to monitor thats all. Thanks

yeah setcpu is one of my favs. Dont need overclocking on streak 7 but power off profiles might help battery life.

overclocking? How about clocking it to run at what it should run. It's actually UNDER clocked to 800mhz. If we dont see a OC kernel I'm at least hoping to see one that clocks it at 1ghz and not 800Mhz

Setcpu was updated recently to include support for the tegra 2. Working fine on my streak 7.

Overclocking
You may want to check on the Streak 7 development forum as someone there has been having heat issues and is looking for tips on his overclocked tablet running setcpu.

umm there is no overclocking for the streak 7 yet. He simply has it set at it's full spec'ed speed. The streak 7 is actually underclocked to 800mhz for power reasons(dell prob already knew battery life on these sucked so they underclocked to save a little battery life)

Not mine! Just installed setcpu and its at 1000
And yes its support tegra 2 processors!

--- My streak was ALSO set at 1000 MHz in SetCPU. Underclocking to 800 MHz for better battery... Did manage to score an even 1900 on Quadrant though...

Voltage control extreme (overvolting)

Anyone use this and experiencing any benefits from overvolting. I know its pretty unsafe to overvolt but my phone has trouble staying stable at 1.3ghz for more than 20 minutes and was wondering if overvolting it to 1325mv would help? I just don't feel like spending 2 dollars on an app that might not even help.

Don't you mean to say Under-volt because Over-volt which isn't possible, would mean giving more voltage to the frequency meaning more juice being sucked, and most likely wouldn't work out in the first place. haha
1.3Ghz should normally be @ 1325mv anyway, so you would want to Under-volt it 50-100mv if you can, i normally have 600-1000Mhz UV'ed by 50mv, 200-400Mhz UV'ed by 75mv & 100Mhz UV'ed by 100mv. I dont even use anything higher anymore seeing how there is no use for it besides saying " Oh hey look my phone can do this or can do that" only purpose is to
benchmark and who cares anymore haha. Its fun every now and again.

Technically, the over clocked frequencies are under volted by default. That is why some phones can't handle the OC - it's the same issue people have with too much UV on the stock frequencies.
Higher frequencies require higher voltages, but the voltages required by over clock frequencies would exceed the maximum voltage rating of the chip. So the developers had to UV those frequencies to avoid exceeding the max voltage - they decided that instability (and recoverable problems that may result) are a safer risk than burning up the chip

Overvolting is 100% possible.
Did the news get around about a guy named butcher pete?

Yes the app allowed overvolting. I bought it.

I overvolted 1.3ghz to 1350mv and it has been smooth ever since. I know its gonna waste my battery away but I needz my 1.3 jiggawatts. Not really but its fast lol and helps dungeon defenders not stutter as much.

I'll chime in, you are absolutely correct. XxLostSoulXx, you are definitely wrong: of course it is possible to overvolt. I can see the OP's reasoning and I would say go for it, just be careful and keep in mind that you are already above spec voltages for 1.3ghz.

I guess if you say so but i cant OverVolt it only allows me to UVolt.
But if higher frequencies require higher voltages meaning his phone already cant handle why would he give it more voltage on top of it shouldn't he Uvolt to become stable?

The paid version of voltage control? Because the light version doesn't have the overvolt option...

I think you're misunderstanding a little. Undervolting reduces the voltage it uses. So less power. Higher frequencies require more power to function well. So taking power away would only make the problem worse. Undervolting is ONLY useful for saving battery power. Overvolting would eat your battery, but give more energy to the higher frequency, and level out the stability.

No. He needs more voltage to power the frequencies he can't handle. Why do you think the phone freezes if you UV too much? And Overvolting is more than possible.

Okay can you give me a screen shot of doing it or a link to the voltage control because i believe i have the latest and i cant theres no option for me to OverVolt when i hit the frequency the bar. its to the right and only can move it to left thus UnderVolting seeing how it says -25,-50 and so on.

Look it up in the market it costs 2 dollars I bought it yesterday

do you mean to say that in the free version its a feature or there saying in the paid version you have the option?

Tegrak overclock.
Bought it earlier today, got me stable at 1.3 (instead of only 1.2) with an extra 50mv on both core/internal voltages. Awesome. And its TRUELY faster.

The paid version is called Voltage Control Extreme. It is a paid app. Its an add on to the free Voltage Control. So if you get it and install it, it doesn't show up as another app but it will allow you to overvolt instead of only undervolt. It will help those who can't get 1300 or 1400 stable as long as they don't go overboard with it

[Q] CPU Bottlenecking my GPU

OK so I'm building my first rig and I've heard of the cpu almost 'restricting' my gpu. Also post any ideas or thoughts on my build as I would love to know. (I'm a beginner when it comes to hardware)
Asus GTS 450 1GB Silent Direct CU $154.70
AMD Athlon II X2 260 @ 3.2
Asrock 880GMH AM3
Western Digital 500Gb SATA
Adata 4GB XPG Gaming DDR3 4GB @ 1600MHZ
Huntkey GreenPower 550w
It is a budget build and I couldn't find the appropriate section for PC's.

Lol, I think that's because xda it's a forum for phones. But I dabble in computers.
At first glance I would say you were combining old tech (amd athalon 2) with newer tech (mobo and ram) so I would definitely say your rig is being limited by your CPU. I'm not 100% familiar with amd since I'm more of an Intel guy, but I'll do some research for you.

Thanks yeah the athlon is getting quite old yet overclocking to 3.7ghz would help but I don't think it would help enough. I might have to look more at the Phenom lineup

Some other thoughts:
You motherboard has 4 memory slots for DDR3 ram that operate only in dual channel mode. DDR3 ram is meant to be operated in triple channel mode. Meaning shots gave to be in multiples of 3. So your MOBO is restricting your ram.

Right OK I will have a look at that

Nexus7 Hardware Qustion

Is the Tegra3 processor a 2core, 3core or 4core and what is the GHZ speed of this Tegra3? I love this new Nexus7 it is totally awesome.

Quad hut actually has 5...I believe it is 1.2ghz stock (could be wrong).
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using xda premium

Just watched a neat nVidia video on the Tegra 3. It has 4-cores and a "companion core". The companion core does all the mundane background stuff and sucks the least juice. The other cores only kick in when needed, like for loading an app quickly, playing a game, etc.
The video was linked in another thread on XDA...just can't remember where.

It's a 5 core chip with a 12 core GPU, clocked at 1.3 ghz.

[Q]weird sounds on phone when oc'd!

Did any one notice a chirping sound from the device?
I oc'd to 1.7 GHz , my phone froze- nothing worked and after 10-15 seconds my phone started making sounds.... Got scared... Immediately removed the battery waited for few mins... Immediately restored.a backup !

Yes I am sure, mr senior member.
It was 2GHz, ondemand, stock voltages.
If you overclock a lot (past ~1.3GHz) I recommend to not undervolt. Maybe give it a bit more voltage
I suggest ondemand, don't go over 1.2GHz (for battery and life of phone) and undervolt a bit

I never changed any voltages! Just governors and schedulers
